Tubed LB for a few hours on Cinco Mayo.

Started off with 2 YFC real quick. Nice fight from both, but too little....

I wasnt aware that every recreational weekend water warrior was going to be out Sat, but they were. From new kayakers to wind surfing to sailing teams to canoes full of people yelling "1,2 - 1,2" in cadence. As soon as the traffic got rediculous, humor qued one more laugh. A full on yacht parade with 20+ boats comes thrashing through blasting folk music trailing a fire boat spraying 40 ft showers. SoCal pressure? :D

Nice few hours on the water - 6 fish total including 3 short halis. One of the halis was about the smallest hali I have ever caught. Other two not much bigger. I think the pressure was just too much for the quality fish to be active. - Called it a day about an hour after the parade as the wind kicked up pretty good and my starting point for each drift was getting harder and harder to get to. 8)

Total Fish Count - 6
Time on Water - 3 1/2 hours
Fish Caught - (2) yfc, (1) sandbass, (3) short Hali's
Bait used - MC swimbaits 3" curl tail. 1/4oz lead head. - Drop Shot
Scent - UniButter
